[GEMPAK #YMZ-496918]: Gemenviron path change doesn't change where NMAp2 looks for data

After sourcing Gemenviron and launching nmap2, you do not see the archived data 
but do you still see the real-time data?  If so then the issue is $GEMDATA.

Confirm that $GEMDATA is correctly set and that you're launching nmap2 from the 
same terminal as the one you sourced Gemenviron with (and not through a desktop 
icon).

If that is not the issue, then you're going to need to confirm that the file 
names (970328_sao.gem) match the structure defined in 
$GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl for the product you're trying to use.  If 
datatype.tbl defines surface obs as YYYYMMDD_sao.gem, for example, then your 
file names will need to be corrected.
